Several laptop stand designs are engineered to be especially convenient for serious road warriors to take along in a laptop case or backpack, but the new standard for lightness and compact storage combined with convenient simplicity of setup and innovative features is the Aviator stand from Keynamics.

The Aviator's name is an indication of the fact that it is, according to its manufacturer Keynamics LLC, the first and only laptop stand designed specifically for use on airplane tray tables. I can't think of any challengers to that claim, but the Aviator also offers advantages for surface-traveling laptop users as well, and some features that will even appeal to those whose portables spend most of their time in desktop substitute mode.
